12 Best DIY Candy-Free Valentines

A big storm blew in last night, leav­ing us with a foot of fresh snow–and a great excuse to stay at home and make Valen­tines. If you’re on board with skip­ping the candy this year (see Take the Candy-Free School Valen­tine Pledge), you may be won­der­ing what to do instead. While I’m all for sim­ple con­struc­tion paper Valen­tines (or store bought–I’ve pur­chased them plenty of times), the fol­low­ing ideas are so cute and cre­ative that I can’t help but share.

About School Bites

I cre­ated this blog to raise aware­ness and start a dia­logue about the var­i­ous issues involved in school food. By writ­ing about it, I hope to pro­vide par­ents and edu­ca­tors with ideas and inspi­ra­tion for mak­ing healthy changes in their own schools. Since healthy eat­ing habits start at home, I also address com­mon feed­ing chal­lenges faced by parents.
